Adjustment method for clamping force of wire feeding wheel of coaxial wire stripper

In the operation of a fully automatic wire stripper, the wire feeding wheel serves as an essential auxiliary device, collaborating with the wire feeding machine (frame) to complete the wire harness supply process. Additionally, during the stripping process, the wire feeding wheel must apply a longitudinal force to the cable to ensure the completion of the stripping process. Next, let's explore the method for adjusting the clamping force of the wire feeding wheel in a coaxial wire stripper.

However, in practical use, due to issues with the clamping force of the conveyor wheel, cable processing may result in defective products: excessive clamping force can damage the cable sheath, and in severe cases, it may affect the conductivity of the cable; insufficient clamping force can lead to insufficient longitudinal force, causing the cable to slide during stripping, resulting in incorrect stripping. So, how to adjust the clamping force of the conveyor wheel? Taking the fully automatic wire stripper as an example, let's conduct a simple analysis.

The wire stripper consists of two parts: the front wire feeding wheel and the rear wire feeding wheel. The adjustment principle of the clamping force is the same for both. This article focuses on the description of the front wire feeding wheel. The clamping force of the wire feeding wheel is determined by the tension knob and the fine adjustment pulley. Those who have seen old black-and-white televisions should know that in the past, manual channel selectors were used to change channels, and fine adjustments were made to the clarity. The clamping force of the wire feeding wheel is similar.

The tension knob controls the tension status of the conveyor line wheels. It is typically opened during threading and wire feeding, and can be closed by reversing it after threading. The fine adjustment part is used frequently. Turning it up increases the gap between the upper and lower conveyor line wheels, while turning it down narrows it. When you can't pull the cable with a slight force, the cable will be compressed. Of course, this compression force needs to be determined based on the lateral traction force during stripping, and the clamping force should be slightly greater than the lateral traction force.
